The message reads:
"Unable to find HTC Sync on your PC. Please make sure that HTC Sync is installed and opened on your computer. You can install HTC Sync from the SD card by mounting it to your PC or you can download it from http://www.htc.com/www/support.aspx. Note: for Windows only."
Well so have I.
So I spent yesterday developing an application that can install *.apk's when my device can't connect to HTC Sync.
Here's how it works:
1) Download apkinstaller.jar (subject to license below).
2) Enable USB debugging on your device (check your device manual on how to do this).
3) Plug your device into a usb 2.0 port on your PC.
4) Try to connect to HTC Sync (i.e when the device asks for the connection type, select "HTC Sync").
5) When the HTC Sync error message displays on your device, run (double click) the apkinstaller.jar
Requirements:
1) You have to have adb.exe installed and running on your PC. As far as I know this is installed with HTC sync so it should be there already, if it isn't you can install the Android SDK (adb.exe comes with that).
2) You need to have JRE1.5 or later
